be active: challenge your beliefs

April 19, 2012

So you believe what you believe but are you open to challenging your beliefs? When someone questions your beliefs, do you get defensive or do you become pensive? It is better to at the very least listen to the challenge that is being presented and be willing to think, even if it is only for a second or two, over the belief that is being challenged. You may grow from the challenge. The challenge may strengthen your beliefs or totally dismantle them. Either case is fine as long as you are open to a challenge. This shows that you are willing to be open-minded and willing to be wrong. So let’s try to not use our ego as a means to react when our belief systems are challenged. Let’s use our unconditional love and be willing to listen and be receptive to a true challenge of our beliefs.
